Getting the Most “Favor” for Your Money!

Yes, friends! Frugality is now in fashion. In this economy, I’m all about getting the most for my money, no matter what it is—even in small things like party favors.

Let me correct myself. Party favors are no small thing. They may be small in size, but they’re huge when it comes to making an impression and thanking your guests. Still, I’ve always liked the idea of getting the most bang for my buck.

BEHOLD THE THREE-IN-ONE FAVOR

Jackpot! These favors provide a distinct service at your wedding reception or baby shower, and later, when your guests take them home, they have two more enjoyable uses. The autumn-themed favor at the left decorates your event tables as place card holders. We all know why place card holders are necessary, don’t we? Especially at large receptions, where “festival” seating can lead to aggressive guests in evening gowns tripping over each other to get a seat at the table closest to the wedding party.

GIVE ‘EM YOUR BEST SHOT!

If you’re hosting a smaller event, where seating isn’t an issue, you can abandon the place card in favor of a favorite photo for your guests to take home. Yeah, there’s a better-than-even chance they’ll throw your photo in a drawer when they get home and replace it with a favorite photo of their own—but that’s okay! They’ve still got an ever-present memento of your special occasion.

FINALLY, THE FLAME

So, to recap—we’re able to use these practical, little jewels as place card holders and as photo holders. Those two features alone would comprise a lovely favor, but the three-in-one favor is also a treat holder or tea light holder, adding ambiance wherever it glows.

That reminds me. Autumn is peeking around the corner, and I can’t wait! Cozy fires! Football! Crisp, cool air! Falling leaves! We’re going to have some fantastic, fresh ideas for your fall celebration in the coming weeks, so stop by! There might even be some contests and giveaways! Meanwhile…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACelebrate life and have fun!
